Cosmic View is respected having had three of these behind when off the mark over C&D last month, while National Health, his nearest pursuer, should again go well. However, although he does not always look straightforward, this may be the day that TWO PLUS TWO doubles his winning tally having only just lost out in a handicap over C&D 12 days ago. He drops to this level for the first time.[David Bellingham]

Appreciated the drop to this level when off the mark at the 17th attempt over C&D last month, beating National Health by half a length; solid claims for a follow-up now that he has got his head in front.
Has regressed markedly since winning over 7f on turf in Ireland as a 2yo and has shown nothing in her only six races (over 1m-2m) since the start of last year; best to look elsewhere.
2-42 under rules, his latest win coming over hurdles last May; held in two starts here since returning last month, the latest over 1m6f (66-1) on Wednesday; much more needed.
Can make the running, as when winning a handicap at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) last month; couldn't quite back it up when third of nine over C&D 12 days ago, but no surprise if he again runs well.
0-13 under rules and becoming frustrating having finished runner-up with cheekpieces enlisted here in his last three starts, the last two over C&D including a half-length defeat by Cosmic View; cheekpieces off this time; likely to go well again and he doesn't need much more in order to get his head in front.
1-21 and hasn't always looked the easiest, but there wasn't much wrong with his close second of nine in a handicap over C&D 12 days ago (Disquietude fourth); drops to this level for the first time and respected.
Didn't help himself by refusing to settle when third of 11 behind Cosmic View and National Health over C&D last month; that took his record to 0-22, so he needs to find a bit more.
0-12 but in the frame in four of her five starts this year, the latest when fourth of nine over C&D 12 days ago when she finished behind three of these; improvement required.
0-14 and his second of ten at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack; first-time cheekpieces) in January came in a very slowly run race, albeit with the winner handsomely advertising the form since; disappointing when sent off favourite back there (1m2f) last month; needs to bounce back.
0-12; one of her best efforts when second of 12 here (8.6f) in September, but well held in both starts back at this venue (9.5f) since returning for this yard in January; plenty to prove attempting this far for the first time.
